Lasing Efficiency and Photochemical Stability of IR Laser

The lasing efficiencies and photochemical stabilities of laser dyes useful in the 710-1080-nm spectral region have been investigated using a Q-switched ruby laser pumping source. The measured bleaching rates P defined as the probability of irreversible decomposition of a dye molecule per absorbe...
